- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Amblyopia is a condition where one eye has reduced vision, usually due to abnormal visual development in childhood.
- Blocked Tear Ducts: Blocked tear ducts occur when the tear drainage system is partially or completely obstructed, causing excessive tearing or eye discharge.
- Cataracts: Cataracts are cloudy areas that develop in the lens of the eye, leading to blurred vision and eventually vision loss if left untreated.
- Chemical Eye Burns: Chemical eye burns occur when the eye comes into contact with a harmful substance, causing damage to the eye tissues.
- Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a condition where the tear ducts in infants are blocked or underdeveloped, resulting in excessive tearing or eye discharge.
- Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids.
- Drooping Eyelids: Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, is a condition where the upper eyelids sag, partially covering the eyes and potentially affecting vision.
- Dry Eye: Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, redness, and discomfort.
- Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC): EKC is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the cornea and conjunctiva, causing redness, pain, and blurred vision.
- Exophthalmos (Bulging Eyes) Due to Thyrotoxicosis: Exophthalmos is a condition characterized by protruding or bulging eyes, often associated with an overactive thyroid gland.
- Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, leading to gradual vision loss. It is often associated with increased pressure inside the eye.
- Narrow or Occludable Angle: Narrow or occludable angle refers to a condition where the drainage angle in the eye is narrowed or blocked, increasing the risk of angle-closure glaucoma.
- Ocular Hypertension (OHT): Ocular hypertension is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal, but without signs of optic nerve damage or vision loss.
- Ptosis: Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops, partially covering the eye and potentially obstructing vision.
- Refractive Errors: Refractive errors are common vision problems that occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, causing blurred vision.
- Retinal Detachment: Retinal detachment occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, separates from its underlying layers, leading to vision loss if not treated promptly.
- Retinal Diseases: Retinal diseases encompass a range of conditions that affect the retina, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa.
- Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): ROP is an eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants, causing abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina and potentially leading to vision impairment or blindness.
- Styes: A stye, or hordeolum, is a red, painful lump that forms on the edge of the eyelid, usually caused by a bacterial infection of the oil glands in the eyelid.
- Uveitis: Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can cause eye pain, redness, and blurred vision.
- Vitreous Degeneration: Vitreous degeneration refers to changes in the gel-like substance called the vitreous humor, which fills the inside of the eye. These changes can lead to floaters or flashes in the vision.
